Services include outreach and recruitment; individual, family and vocational counseling; remedial educationjob training; and referral to on the job training; Employability Skills Training (ESt) job search assistance and placement if needed; and referral to supportive services (i.e. needs assessment during counseling, etc.) Approximately 40% of Hispanic Youth in Dade County drop out of high school. This lack of formal educaiton along with the problems associated with language and acculturation have led to a significant portaion of Hispanic youth being socially dysfunctional. In part this accounts for the severe youth-gang problem in the core areas of Miami
